If
you live in an area that is threatened by wildfires you need
a 
Wildfire Protection System .
Now, there's a portable system that uses the same fire
retardant sprayed out of firefighting air tankers, with
one important difference: no red dye. This colorless product
is a proprietary formula of the well known and time-tested
fire retardant Phos-Chek™
|
Phos-Chek™
Retardant
| Suppressants,
such as foam and gel, rely solely on their contained water
as the active ingredient to suppress fire. Once the water
evaporates from these products, either by the heat of
the sun, or heat from a wildfire, they can no longer stop
a fire's progress. |
| Phos-Chek™
long-term retardant, on the other hand, does not rely
on contained water to stop fires. It is applied as a solution
containing water only to allow it to be spread on potential
fuel areas. Phos-Chek™
was designed specifically to protect fuels containing
cellulose such as wood, paper, grass and trees. When the
diluted retardant is spread it can remain effective for
weeks or even months until it is washed off by a stream
of water or a moderate rainstorm. |
 |
What
makes Phos-Chek unique is its ability to remain in place
and active for prolonged periods of time, unlike many
other products found on the market.

The
Home Protection System
Two-Step plan for protecting your property. |
1.
Set up a defensible perimeter around
your home. Clear brush, dead grass and woody material
at least 100 feet from your home. Many fire services recommend
a wider clear space around your home. The perimeter may
be increased by pretreating the surrounding area with
the Phos-Chek retardant. The Phos-Chek™
retardant will stay in place until it is washed off.
|
2.
In a fire emergency, when the threat
of wildfire is imminent, Firebreak retardant may be
sprayed on landscaped areas, wooden structures, decks,
fences, etc. Always remember to wash the retardant off
these areas after the threat has passed. |
The
Phos-Chek retardant used in a
Wildfire Protection System
does not contain the gum, resin or red dye that the
retardant of a bomber does. Other than deterring the
spread of fire, Phos-Chek retardant acts as a low-grade
fertilizer.
The
retardant itself is well tested, but it's not the end
all. Homeowners still must follow fire-wise practices
and reduce the fuel load around houses. The
Wildfire Protection System
is
one more tool we can use for wildfire
prevention. |
